“You will draw water with joy from the well of salvation” (Isaiah 12:3).
<Meditation>
The three came closer.
These days, the bustling Christmas celebrations are less than before, and as the end of the year draws near, it seems that the special feelings for the new year, which inevitably draw near, are also diminishing. This would be a problem if we only have a busy mind about our lives and our expectations and excitement are reduced by that much.
An eventful year is coming to an end. The situation around the Korean Peninsula seems to pose only difficult tasks for estimating a new era in East Asia, and it hurts my heart to think that all walks of life in our society are still not able to get rid of their outdated appearance and only reveal their shortcomings. The church should be a hope, but today, does the church have enough arms to embrace hearts that are hurting, stabbed, and hurting each other?
Think of Abraham. In Genesis 15, God said to Abraham, “I will give this land to you, that you may possess it” (verse 7), as if giving it immediately. Hi,” he said as if he had to wait a long time. Are God's promises unfaithful? no. It is saying that God will train and train Abraham and his descendants until they have enough qualities and abilities to occupy the land.
The well of salvation never dries up and is always with us. It is our task to pump it up, and it is a well rich enough to hold with joy the hope of salvation.
<Prayer>
1. May the year-end and New Year holidays be spent in the grace of the Lord!
2. Send many faithful co-workers!
3. Heal the sick! (Elder Kim Eul-soo, Deaco Park Jong-rok, Kim Young-sik, Kim Wan-jin, Jeong Mi-ra, Choi Gyu-sang-do (Elder Choi Jeom-dong's younger brother, lung cancer)...)
